Senior Data Analyst turning complex datasets into actionable insights and dashboards.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data Analyst with 4+ years of experience transforming complex datasets into actionable insights and data visualizations for SaaS and enterprise environments. I specialize in SQL, dbt, BigQuery, Snowflake, Tableau, and Looker, with deep strength in data wrangling, statistical analysis, and KPI development.
I focus on going beyond descriptive analytics by partnering with senior business leaders to activate data and drive measurable business outcomes. In my work, I build data transformation pipelines that wrangle imperfect datasets and reduce preparation time, while improving KPI reporting speed and clarity through interactive dashboards.
I also bring a strong analytics and modeling mindset—streamlining statistical analysis and statistical modeling workflows with Python and Pandas, and using predictive approaches to support decision-making. Across product, marketing, and customer data domains, I build scalable pipelines (including GCP-native tooling) and consult on KPI frameworks and visualization best practices to help teams move faster and track outcomes more effectively.
